Cast a Long Shadow

Inheriting a struggling ranch, a young heir must navigate a perilous cattle drive to prove his mettle and secure his family's legacy.

Matt Brown, a penniless drunk, inherits an 87,000-acre ranch and fortune from a deceased old man, Jake Keenan, who he never knew was his biological father. With the ranch's foreman, Chip Donahue, Matt must navigate his new responsibilities, including rekindling a romance with his former girlfriend, Janet Calvert, and dealing with debt to the bank. The only way to pay off the debt is to sell 3,000 head of cattle in Santa Fe within a week, but rival rancher Sam Mullen and his friends plan to sabotage their efforts.
